Varying k-mer size

These graphs are the same bacterial isolate assembled in SPAdes using three different k-mer values.

K-mer 21 graph
K-mer of 21. This value is too small, resulting in short contigs and many connections, giving a dense tangled graph.

K-mer 77 graph
K-mer of 77. This is a good balance, giving long contigs that are well connected.

K-mer 127 graph
K-mer of 127. This value is too large, resulting in the graph breaking into many discontinuous pieces.
